Job Description

Hi, my name is Tiago. Can you help me live life to the full?

I am looking for a personal assistant to join my team. I am a typical young adult with a wicked sense of humour, and I lead an active life. I like to hang out and play Xbox and Dungeons and Dragons; when you're gaming, you're free of your limitations. I enjoy outdoor adventures like sit-skiing. I study Games Development and Coding at college. I sometimes find my cerebral palsy annoying, but I try to stay positive and persevere to overcome challenges.
